FLIR Announces New LS-Series Handheld Thermal Cameras for Law Enforcement

Portland, OR – FLIR Systems, Inc., announces the addition of the smaller LS-Series (LS32 and LS64 models) to its already popular handheld H-Series Monocular and Bi-Ocular Thermal Camera line for law enforcement. Beginning in Q2 2012, would-be perpetrators will try unsuccessfully to hide their heat from the smaller, more affordable LS-Series imagers, which see in total darkness, through smoke, dust, light fog, light foliage, in any lighting conditions and at any time of the day, or night.

The new LS-Series has an easy-to-use design, a sealed eyepiece, diopter adjustment and resolution options that all deliver the best-in-class performance of FLIR’s latest thermal cores. The LS32 combines this high performance with unprecedented affordability for patrol, surveillance, and searches; while the LS64’s longer standoff capability is ideal for special tactics, critical infrastructure protection, protective service, and high-threat security situations.

The LS-Series provides crisp thermal video any time of day. Push-button features include zoom, polarity switching and viewfinder brightness. Add in superior focus-free optics, a tactical laser pointer and an embedded Li-Ion battery for up to 5 hours of operation, and you’re able to act on real-time information to make informed and rapid decisions day or night.
